Kitchen Drains
Cooking grease, food scraps, and soap gradually coat the inside of kitchen lines until water barely moves. We clear the full buildup — and share simple habits that keep it from coming back.
When a drain slows down or stops completely — or you're dealing with clogged drains anywhere in the house — you need it cleared fast, and cleared properly, so it stays that way. That's what our drain cleaning and rooter service is for.
Every clog has a cause. Grease cools and hardens on kitchen line walls. Hair and soap build up in bathroom drains. Tree roots find their way into main sewer lines. A bottle of chemical cleaner might punch a temporary hole through the blockage, but it doesn't remove the buildup — which is why the same drain keeps clogging. Our drain cleaning and rooter service removes the obstruction and the residue behind it, and when a drain keeps misbehaving, we find out why.

Hair, soap residue, and toothpaste form stubborn clogs in sinks, showers, and tubs. We remove them without the harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes.
When several fixtures back up at once, the problem is usually in the main line. We clear main-line obstructions and, when needed, inspect the line to check its condition. More on our sewer services page.
Basement floor drains, laundry drains, and outdoor drainage issues — cleared and flowing so a backup doesn't turn into water damage. That includes the leader lines that carry your roof gutters underground to the street or dry well — when leader lines clog with leaves and sediment, water dumps right back against your foundation.
1. We evaluate first. Our technician looks at the affected drains, asks what's been happening, and figures out where the blockage actually is and what it's made of.
2. We clear it with the right equipment. Professional drain machines and rooter equipment and, for heavy buildup, hydro jetting — high-pressure water that scours grease, mineral deposits, and debris off pipe walls instead of just poking through them.
3. We check the rest of the system. Drains on the same line get a look too, and for recurring problems we offer video camera inspections that show us exactly what's happening inside the pipe — root intrusion, a belly in the line, or damaged sections.
4. We tell you how to keep it clear. You'll get straightforward maintenance tips specific to your home, so the problem doesn't come right back.
Caught early, most of these are quick, inexpensive fixes. Left alone, they become backups — and backups become water damage.
Store-bought chemical cleaners generate heat and corrosive action inside your pipes, and repeated use can damage older plumbing — while still leaving most of the buildup in place. Professional cleaning is safer for your pipes, more thorough, and better for the long-term health of your whole system. Routine professional cleaning, about once a year for problem lines, is one of the cheapest forms of plumbing insurance a homeowner can buy.
A drain machine opens a path through a clog; hydro jetting removes the clog and everything clinging to the pipe walls around it. When kitchen grease has coated a line wall-to-wall, when cast iron has built up years of scale, or when the same main line keeps clogging no matter how many times it's been snaked, high-pressure water jetting is the tool that actually resets the pipe. It's also how we finish the job after root cutting and how lines are prepped before repair or lining work. See how it works — and when it's the right call — on our hydro jetting services page.
